What are virtual circuits (VCs)? Why VCs are better than quantum computing. How chatbots can help in the design of VCs. Quantum computing promises to deliver impressive computing performance for ...

Qubits are “bits” of information for quantum systems and some elements of quantum mechanics. But how are qubits physically realized? How can electronics manage elements that belong to a quantum ...

Researchers at RIT have developed a new computer chip design approach that allows electronic systems to automatically adapt to real-world conditions, improving how devices manage power in everyday use ...

Researchers have made the first carbon nanotube computer capable of running simple programs (Nature 2019, DOI: 10.1038/s41586-019-1493-8). The microprocessor integrates more than 14,000 carbon ...

QSPICE is an analog and mixed-signal simulator characterized by high simulation speed, accuracy and reliability. It is a new program and can be downloaded here. QSPICE is still in the demonstration ...

Using two self-healing transistors and a load resistor, NAND and NOR logic gates were assembled, and their logic states were reliably maintained under 20% tensile strain. Moreover, the preassembled ...

Worldwide, discarded electronic toys, computers and smartphones are becoming an increasingly significant source of electronic ...

Using mushroom skin to make the base of computer chips and batteries would make them easier to recycle. All electronic circuits, which consist of conducting metals, need to sit in an insulating and ...

Electronic devices can now use six thermistors to protect low-voltage circuits, save board space, and improve power use.
